Ready Bake

Code Here‛s some tester code that we‛ve cooked up especially
for you. This code will let you test your function:
Ask the user for the
surfer ID to find. lookup_id = int(input("Enter the id of the surfer: ")) Do this!

Call “find_details()” surfer = find_details(lookup_id)
on the entered surfer ID. if surfer:

print("ID: " + surfer['id'])
If data was found, print("Name: " + surfer['name']) Type this tester code,
display the nicely print("Country: " + surfer['country']) together with your
formatted messages. print("Average: " + surfer['average']) function, into IDLE. Be
sure to put the function
print("Board type: " + surfer['board'])
near the top of you file,
print("Age: " + surfer['age']) so that this tester code
appears after it.

Test Drive

Make sure the tester code and your function are entered into IDLE and saved
to a file as a new program. Press F5 to test your function.

Enter an existing surfer
ID and the program
displays the details.

Enter a nonexistent
surfer ID and the
program displays
nothing (as there's
nothing to display).

Great work! Your function is working well. Wonder how the RSA
folks feel about it?
